- "Всё хорошо."
137 Comments
Why can't I say "all good"? Is it just Australians who say "all good"? I feel like it still makes sense.
It may well be because (At least where I live in the Midwestern US) all good also has the meaning of responding to an apology. "I'm sorry for xx" "all's good."
Because всё=everything is and все=all, that's why its marking it wrong.
But 'all is well' is accepted. A usage from Shakespeare! 'All good', which actually I like to use daily, is probably considered an'informal' idiom.
Russian is a slavic language. This derives from a combination of acient greek and latin. Shakespeare is in a romance latin and greek latin. All is well has an inferred translation.
Yeah it even says on the drop-down when you press on it that all right is acceptable. Its even the top answer!
This could sound like a person giving answer to a persistant other with the lineup of words >_<
Fun fact for people who have read A Clockwork Orange, the author derived a lot of the vocab from Russian. For example, in the book Horrorshow means good, excellent, great and in Russian хорошо means good or fine.
Nadsat is seriously helping me on this course! Droog, horrorshow, nochy, devotchka, veck/chelloveck, etc... Thanks, Anthony Burgess and high school English!
One of the flaws in the course is the lack of explanation in certain aspects, like pronunciation. The RussianВis the same as the English V. Всё is kinda like vsyo in English lettering.
The important point here is what olimo pointed out about devoicing, rather than any orthography point.
Does "всё" also mean finished? I live in the Georgia where people occasionally use Russian words and expressions. They say "всё" saying I'm "finished" or "it's finished/ taken care of." Am I thinking of a different word?
Yes it does. In that context, think of "всё" as "That's all" or "That is everything" or even "Done."
This must have been what Aundrey said to Pierre when he came back (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812).... нет, все хорошо. там идет война на.....
in word хорошо why is the first two "о" pronounced more like "a" and just the last "о" sounds like actual o ?
Simply, you must learn where is accent. Like in every languages. Also, if you see "ё" somewhere, know that it is always accented.
Yes. It's basically an "H" sound with a bit of a gargle in the back of your mouth.
"Всё хорошо", i say to myself as i struggle through the russian tree, barely able to read cyrillic after three weeks of trying to learn russian.
since when do native Russians say this? I never heard any native say it, since it's believed to bring bad luck
I'm a native speaker, and I often say "всё хорошо". Never heard of any bad luck connected with it.
Как прошла встреча? - Всё хорошо.
Как ты? - Всё хорошо.
(Кто-то упал) Что с ним? Он жив? - С ним всё хорошо.
I'm native speaker.
It's not silent, but before an unvoiced consonant it loses its voice and goes в -> ф
so it's pronounced like [фсё]
I've always heard and said it as a v sound. Pretty weird that people are saying they can't hear it or that it's an f sound now.
So, i wrote "Everything's fine" and it says it's incorrect, telling me the correct answer is "I'm fine" xd
I'm not a native english so maybe im wrong but why is it wrong to write everything's good? Does duolingo not understand ' or is this a wrong use of an apostrophe
The English is fine but Duo just doesn't have all possible answers sometimes
I speak Ukrainian fairly proficiently, and "хорошо" translates to "good" just about as well as it does "fine" into English. Obviously Ukrainian and Russian are separate languages, but I feel like it's a bit too nitpicky to necessitiate a difference between the two options.
Does have the same meaning as the popular but informal "it's all good" in the US? "Sorry." "It's all good." ?
In the Memrise app it says that "все хорошо" means "very well", now it is confusing to me. Can anyone help?

If I could upvote this a 1.000, I would.
BTW, I put 1.000 and not 1,000 as Russian uses the decimal for numbers the way English uses the comma.
What is the difference between "добрый", "доброе" and "хорошо" when saying 'good'?
From what I can find, it would seem доброе/добрыи mean good in the sense of kind, genial, gracious, etc, whereas хорошо means good in the sense of fine (it can also mean handsome, pretty or good-looking).
Would it be appropriate to use "всё добрый" or "добрый всё" to also say that "Everything is good"?
There's a sound difference. "ш" sounds like a palatalized version of the English "sh," but "щ" sounds like "sh" which a "ch" right after it.
It's fine was also not accepted for some reason. xopowo means fine, ok and alright.
Yeah, just hard for them to add all possible different combinations
The trick is to try and translate in the most neutral natural way possible
I wrote the same thing and it said that I'd missed a space and the correct answer is "everything is good" so I guess it doesn't recognise contractions.
Perhaps because "alright" is used more in the sense of "okay" than"all is right"
"Good", "well", "fine" should all be accepted. There are no grammar problems.
It didn't like everything with an apostrophe, instead of everything IS good! But I agree with it's all good.or, all good.
How do we know whether "o" should be pronounced as "o" or "ah" in Russian? Хорошо sounds like "kharasho" to my ears.
It's sort of humorous that modt complaints on here are from people who speak english poorly. There IS an english course on here too
Why sometimes do you need to pronounce as A the letter O, but sometimes you spell the letter O the same. Why?
As well "all's fine". This works in the translation of спасибо, всё хорошо
Yeah it doesn't always make sense in other languages but we have to remember that every language is different and won't always make sense to us.
I was led to believe that у makes the "oo" sound while ё is a "yo" sound, yet всё sounds to me like "Vsu."
Any help appreciated.
The everything is fine one or всё хорошо i cant figure out how to say it does anyone have tips?
If "all right" is wrong, then how come when you select the words for a hint, it says "all right?"
I understand "harasho" to mean good, so this would be closer to "Everything is good", maybe even "It's all good".
If I wanted "fine" I'd go with "ladno" instead...
I typed "All right" just like the translation suggested. Although, "everything is fine" might be the correct answer, there is not enough context to conclude and the alternative translation is confusing.
"All is right" means everything is as it should be. That's Всё в порядке.
"all right"? Подсказки даёт это, Но почему выдаёт ошибку при проверке?
